Imagine this as a hard adult horror packed with violence and gore, and you might have something halfway decent. Even worse, the child-friendly certificate means that this film's attempts to be genuinely scary fall by the wayside. Eventually he comes up against an age-old evil and soon a battle commences which is packed with the usual CGI action: it looks pretty but artificial, lacking depth and believability.
